What is the saying that it is warm in three or nine days?

The saying that it was warm for three or nine days means that the weather was not too cold that year.

In the traditional culture of China, March 9th is usually considered as the coldest period of the year. At this time, when the temperature reaches the lowest point and the weather is cold, people will take various measures to keep warm, such as wearing thick clothes and using heating. Therefore, if it is warm for three or nine consecutive days, according to the traditional concept, it means that the weather in that year was not too cold. The origin of this concept may be related to climate change.

In the past, people did not have modern weather forecasting technology, and they could only rely on experience and observation for weather changes. They noticed that in some years, the temperature was relatively high for three or nine days, so they thought it showed that the winter of that year would not be too cold. This concept has been handed down gradually and has become a way for people to predict the weather. However, modern science has proved that climate change is a complex phenomenon and cannot be predicted simply by a single meteorological event.

Although the temperature in March and September can reflect the climate of that year, it cannot accurately predict the weather of the whole winter. So we can't rely entirely on this traditional concept to predict the weather. Nevertheless, the warmth of the past three or nine days still has a certain impact on people's lives. If it is warm for three or nine consecutive days, people may reduce their dependence on warm measures in winter and reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions. In addition, warm weather may also promote people's outdoor activities and tourism, and increase economic activities and social exchanges.

The ninth ballad:

China folk widely circulated "99-year-old songs to relieve cold", commonly known as "99-year-old songs". There are many versions of 99 ballads. In winter, we should sing "Counting Nine Songs" to record the phenological weather people are used to in order to remember the cold and heat.

Jia Qinglu once recorded a song in Suzhou: "In 1929, I called Fu to make a move. In 3927, the hedgerow blows chestnut. Sleeping at night is like sleeping outside. Five, nine, four, five, poor street dance. Stop jumping, stop jumping, there is still a cold spring. Six, nine, fifty-four, the house of flies. Seven, nine, six, thirteen, scattered on the shoulders. In 8972, cats and dogs were lying on the ground. In 998 1 year, the poor man suffered. I was just about to stretch my feet to sleep when mosquitoes and fleas came out. "

Later, according to the agricultural phenology and customs of various places, people arranged a more fluent "Jiujiu Song", such as: "1929 Don't shoot; Walking on the ice in 3949; 5969 see willows along the river; 79 rivers open 89 geese; 99 plus 19, plowing cattle everywhere. " In addition, there are many proverbs, such as "Spring hits six or nine heads", which means that "beginning of spring" is usually on the first day of June 9th.

These folk songs and proverbs are catchy, and even illiterate farmers, women and even children can easily remember them, which is of practical value to help people judge the changes of cold and summer and the farming season.
